Sunshine! Glorious blue skies, fluffy white clouds and warm bright sunshine! It's been a little rainy the last couple of days so at first sign of sunshine we headed out early all the way around the island to Waimea Canyon. Waimea is called the Grand Canyon of the South Pacific - while it lacks the grand size of the mainland namesake, it is every bit its equal in grandeur.

We tried to do our Na Pali coast boat trip again, and were again thwarted by the weather. Although the skies are clear, it is very windy on the west coast and too rough to sail, so instead we hit Poipu Beach, basked in the sunshine, snorkelled in the very clear water and shoo'ed the chickens off the beach towels.
